Imposter syndrome manifests as that constant internal feeling that we don’t know enough, that we lack knowledge and ability, and that we don’t have what it takes to play a certain role or follow a certain profession. Thinking less of ourselves can lead to anxious feelings and self-sabotage, but it’s important to know that imposter syndrome is a very common issue and everyone at some point has gone through something like this before.
